ALL of the infected medical personnel have died.
Past press reports put the number at 17, although yesterday I saw a reference upping the number to 19.
You would think that if anyone survived, it would be the medical people. That NONE have survived is quite significant.
Only one person is reported to have recovered, and that is questionable. No details were provided, not even how the person was treated. Nor did they address the question of whether the person was still contagious.
This is also much longer than an VHF outbreak should have lasted. But the stunning fatalities amongst the patient groups that have recieved clinical care is just well nothing short of staggering. words fail me
The medical people are the most likely to accept and cooperate with supportive treatment. Others may have been scared away by the high mortality observed in the hospital setting. We don't know the quality of the supportive treatment offered, thus we might be making an incorrect assumption about whether ideal treatment could have improved the outcome.
